Critic reviews
"In an unusually masterful first novel, physicist Asaro combines hard speculative science and first-rate storytelling to look at the galaxy's distant future....This is one of the best sf first novels in years." (Booklist)
"Though Asaro, a physicist, provides more than enough esoteric detail on faster-than-light inversion drives, cybernetic enhancements, and computer networks, she manages to anchor her story with thoughtful, engaging characters and an intriguing vision of the future." (Publishers Weekly)
"This novel deserves a wide readership." (Library Journal)

The reader, Anna Fields, is quite engaging, and though she may not portray the best or widest range of male voices, she does at least as well at those as most male readers do for female voices; as a male, I did not find her male renderings disrupted the book or made the work any less enjoyable. She was able to give enough individuality to a sufficient range of characters that after the first hour I knew most of the characters by how she read them, and that’s more than one can say for a lot of professional readers. I would certainly not shy away from any titles she read, and indeed consider her a plus for any work I was considering.

Refreshingly Realistic Attitude, Good Story

Then again, if you are such a sci fi fan, you might think this story is too much like a "chick flick." The basic setup is fine, even interesting and original; it's the digressions and the inane back story that are worth criticism. I can only hope for those of you who dare read the next installation that some of this rambling (about Rex, Jareth, Helda, etc.) serves a purpose later. I will never know since I am not interested enough in the lead characters to find out how they fared.

Pretty good!

I felt like it was trying to be a romance at times but what I really wanted was more science fiction. Other than that it was great. I enjoyed the techno sci-fi aspect of it, I just wanted more of it.
The narrator was good, I don't love romance.

What made the experience of listening to Primary Inversion the most enjoyable?
The characters interest me and the story line was very predictable at first but has since been less predictable to me. I'm a sci-fi fantasy fan and took a while to get me started on this audio.Who was your favorite character and why?
I am finding Cox's heir to be intriguing just because of the way the story line is going. I'm curious to see how this story plays out.What does Anna Fields bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She sounds similar to Ellen DeGeneres which was hard to separate at first, but now that I have heard her through most of the book, I quite enjoy her voice and voices.Any additional comments?
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.first book - so far so good
